Chapelle Saint-Jacques de Roquefort

Chapelle Saint-Jacques de Roquefort, chapel located in Landes, in France

Chapelle Saint-Jacques de Roquefort is a stone chapel with a tall, flat, tan-colored facade rising to a gabled roofline edged with a dark overhang. A stone-framed doorway with a solid red door and carved stone above sits at the center, and a square stone buttress runs up the wall to the right. A large, dark green, cone-shaped shrub stands in front of the facade.

The chapel was built in the first half of the 16th century as a seigneurial chapel within the burial enclosure of the Sainte-Marie church in Roquefort, probably by the Camon-Talence family, who owned it in 1752. Traces of burials suggest it was originally a mausoleum. Its late Flamboyant Gothic doorway is contemporary with the portal of the Sainte-Marie church facing it to the north. It later passed to a confraternity welcoming pilgrims on the Limousine route and is now dedicated to Saint James. It was listed as a monument historique on 11 December 1995.

The chapel is now dedicated to the apostle Saint James, though it was first a seigneurial chapel of the Camon-Talence family, owners in 1752 when the bishop of Aire visited. It later passed to a confraternity that welcomed pilgrims of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle travelling the Limousine route.

The chapel is located in the older part of Roquefort near historic streets and squares, making it easy to find and reach on foot. Visitors should note that access may be limited at times, so it helps to ask locals or check ahead before planning a visit.

The chapel was owned by a confraternity that welcomed pilgrims on the Limousin route to Santiago de Compostela, and it is now dedicated to the apostle Saint James. Its late Flamboyant Gothic entrance door is contemporary with the portal of the facing Sainte-Marie church.
